I had money down on a Chevrolet Blazer EV for release. I started hearing negative things before they became available. Asked dealer to hold. Vehicles start shipping and the list is glaring:

  1. Underpowered
  2. Unreliable infotainment system with some units completely bricking
  3. Major charging issues.
  4. Nerfed towing capabilities

Got my deposit back. If they had just released a non-luxury Lyriq, that would have worked, but they had to nerf it and make it considerably worse. Not that the 2 and 3 are not issues on the Lyriq.
